Soybean products

Nuts

Vitamin C-rich fruits

Any fruit rich in vitamin C, such as guava, kiwi fruit, strawberries, oranges and tangerines, are all great in promoting your skin’s health and helping to prevent sunburn.

An extra tip—eating too much parsley, mustard, and radishes can cause sunspots.

Best to eat these sparingly during the summer, or avoid them if you can.
